A group of 15 elite high school students are gathered at a very special, high class high school. To graduate from this high school essentially means you'll succeed in life, but graduating is very difficult. The school is presided over by a bear called Monokuma, and he explains to them that their graduation hinges around committing a murder. The only way to graduate is to kill one of your classmates and get away with it. If the other classmates discover the identity of the killer, the killer is the only one executed. However, if they fail to catch the killer, only the killer graduates and the others are annihilated. Which of the 15 will survive the bloodbath to come?

I'm not sure how I feel about this anime yet, based on just one episode.

Those characters sure are some painfully stereotypical portrayals of anime stereotypes. Their introductions were kinda funny. The gothic lolita girl (gambling expert?) and the mysterious white-haired girl are interesting though.

Wow talk about disappointment. The plot has such high potential, yet they made such a bad anime. It wasn't scary, wasn't interesting, and none of them were thinking outside the box. Just a bunch of people stuffed in a school, walking around and whining.

To be fair, this was the FIRST episode and according to folks who played the game, it was very faithful. There might not be a lot of action but you have to remember that it was sort of a bit of a set up to things to come soon.

Of course. I didn't expect the first episode to be as good as the first episode of attack on titan for instant. Even so, this one just didn't work for me. The first episode is usually the foundation for the anime serie, if it sucks the rest will probably be a lot like it. Well seeing as i had high expectations, i suppose it deserves to get one more chance at least. Will try out the next episode with little hope in mind.

I actually liked the first episode. Yeah it felt a bit rushed but it didn't annoy me. I personally like most of the characters expect the highschool idol what ever her name was. I loved the fact that the OP(I think it was the OP?) was instrumental. The ED was good as well. It reminded me of a Vocaloid song.
